These terms apply to the Plated mobile app (the "App"), made by Estopia Engineering Ltd, a company registered in Scotland (company number SC874827) ("we", "us", "our"). By using the App you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

How we handle your data is explained in the Plated Privacy Policy.

Recipe Accuracy and Allergens

Recipes you import are extracted automatically by AI and may be wrong. Ingredients, quantities, temperatures, timings and steps can be missed, misread or changed, and scaling a recipe can make errors larger.

  • Allergies and dietary needs: always check the ingredients against the original recipe and the labels on the food you use. Never rely on Plated alone to tell you whether a recipe is safe for someone with an allergy or intolerance.
  • Food safety: check that meat, fish, eggs and other foods are cooked thoroughly, whatever the recipe says.
  • Nutrition information, where shown, is an estimate and is not medical or dietary advice.

Compare imported recipes with the original source before you cook, especially when cooking for others.

Free Use and Plated Pro

You can use Plated for free and save up to 5 recipes. Plated Pro is an optional paid subscription that removes that limit and unlocks the other features shown in the App when you subscribe. We may change which features are free or part of Pro, but we won't take away something you've already paid for during your current subscription period.

Subscriptions, Renewal and Refunds

  • Billing: Plated Pro is bought through the App Store or Google Play and charged to your Apple ID or Google account when you confirm the purchase. The price and billing period are shown before you buy.
  • Free trials: if a free trial is offered, you'll be charged when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before.
  • Auto-renewal: your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
  • Cancelling: manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the App or your Estopia account doesn't cancel it. When you cancel, Pro stays active until the end of the period you've paid for.
  • Refunds: payments are handled by Apple or Google, so refunds are too, under their refund policies. We can't issue refunds ourselves. This doesn't affect your statutory rights.
  • Restoring purchases: use Restore Purchases in the App, or sign in to the same Estopia account on another device to use Pro there.

Using Plated

You agree not to:

  • use the App to break the law or anyone else's rights;
  • try to overload, scrape, reverse engineer or get around limits in the App or our API, for example by sending automated imports;
  • use the App to collect other people's content for republishing or commercial use.

We may limit how many recipes you can import in a period to keep the service working for everyone.

Recipes and Other People's Content

Recipes you import come from websites and videos that belong to their creators. Plated saves a copy for your own personal use and keeps a link to the source. Please respect creators' rights and don't republish their recipes without permission. Recipes in Discover are provided by Spoonacular and their original publishers.

We aren't responsible for third-party websites or videos, and a link that works today may stop working or change.

Estopia Accounts

You don't need an account to use Plated. If you sign in with an Estopia account to sync your recipes and grocery lists, you're responsible for keeping your sign-in details safe. You can delete your account in the App at any time.

Intellectual Property

The App, its design and its code belong to Estopia Engineering Ltd and its licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the App on devices you own or control, under these terms and the App Store or Google Play terms.

Ending These Terms

You can stop using Plated at any time by deleting the App (and, if you have one, your Estopia account). We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms. We may also withdraw the App; if we do while you have an active subscription, we'll tell you in advance where we can.

Limitation of Liability

The App is provided "as is". We work to keep it accurate and available, but we don't promise it will be error-free or always online.

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for loss that wasn't foreseeable, for business losses, or for loss arising from relying on an imported recipe without checking it against the original source. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for Plated Pro in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can't be limited by law, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Scotland, and the Scottish courts have jurisdiction over any dispute about them. If you live elsewhere in the UK or in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of where you live and may also bring a claim in your local courts.

Changes

We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top of this page, and if a change is significant we'll tell you in the App before it takes effect. If you keep using the App after that, the new terms apply.
